Leeteuk thought he was DMing Yeonwoo but it ended up being a fan account. He wrote, "Yeonwoo-ya", to which the fan replied, "OMG I can't believe".

Leeteuk later clarified in an official statement, "I wanted to tell a hard-working junior singer that she was doing great. I'm so sorry about that, Yeonwoo-ya, and sorry to the fan who was probably surprised by my sudden DM."

1. [+478, -28] Wow, seriously? ㅋㅋㅋ Think of your age gap, why would you even DM her? You can tell her she did a good job when you meet later.

2. [+417, -28] Why would you randomly tell someone they did a good job through DMs ㅎㅎㅎ Can you grow up already? I can already tell what he was intending to write after saying "Yeonwoo-ya"...

3. [+337, -23] Grow up already...

4. [+59, -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Tried to slide in her DMs and failed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can see why, Yeonwoo is quite pretty ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+57, -3] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ajusshi... act your age...

6. [+53, -2] His excuse is pretty pathetic??? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+50, -2] Ajusshi, you're embarrassing yourself

8. [+45, -4] We see that she's pretty too but you shouldn't be hitting on her

9. [+43, -2] Look at him put his tail down when he tried to hit on her ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+40, -2] Think of your age

11. [+39, -3] This ba$tard has done this a few times ㅋㅋ

12. [+34, -3] Leeteuk-ah, this is embarrassing

13. [+27, -2] Men always pull the same stunt... it's obvious he was trying to hit on her. Sigh... pathetic ba$tard.

14. [+23, -1] I heard celebrities hit on each other through DMs but that's so pathetic ㅋㅋㅋ makes you look like you're not taking them seriously

15. [+13, -0] That's the best excuse he could come up with? tsk tsk tsk

16. [+11, -1] Gross ㅡㅡ

17. [+10, -1] Leeteuk has history of sending Kim Yuna a DM and then saying on a TV show that she never responded which caused SuJu fans to terrorize her SNS. He still hasn't given up hitting on kids through SNS, has he?

8. [+173, -12] If he knew her personal contact, he obviously wouldn't have DMed her. He could've just left her a Katalk message. Obviously he doesn't even know her Instagram account which shows that they're not close at all. Just a business relationship. No?

9. [+154, -44] Why is an '83er hitting on a '96er ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I doubt this is his first time either
